You know before I was installing Sabayon on the drive where previously another distro resided. I wanted to use just Sabayon and wipe the other distro. However, when I was trying to delete all the partitions on the drive through installer, it couldn't delete logical ones. I guess I might need to try on a completely empty drive, or use another option where installer just shrinks other distro's partitions and then installs itself on the empty space.

Just a thought. Maybe I can just wait for the 5.4 Sabayon, maybe (hopefully) anaconda will be changed from its current form, give more options. Judging from the past releases it takes around 3-4 months for the next release to come out. So In June we had 5.3, so very soon there should be 5.4.

Actually what you saying might be a good idea. I didn't want to try nightly/daily builds because I didn't have a DVD disk to spare. I'll get one today and will try the newer version 5.4. I would really like to also say good stuff about Sabayon to my friends, just like what I hear and read from users who enjoy it everyday. But now I can only drool over reviews and not over my own Sabayon.

Sorry for a long delay, I finally found some time to download daily and unetbootined it on usb. I have to say that daily looks much better than official 5.3 (I downloaded x86_K). Also, I was surprised to see E17 version too. I wonder if it is as polished as KDE or GNOME version. I am not sure if ibus works with it or not (well, one day I can try to figure it out, I am sure it can be done).Anyway as per the problems with installation. There were none. I installed it without any crashes, new anaconda is way faster (and little bit prettier too). I didn't boot into Sabayon on my hard drive yet, so I can't say that all is perfect there, but I think it should be ok.

I installed grub not into mbr (/dev/sda), but into Sabayon's partition. I didn't want to mess with my Slackware (it is my primary distro), and it uses LILO. I was not sure Sabayon's grub would pick it up or not.

So now I just need to figure out how to include entry for Sabayom into LILO. Form what I heard there is need for some trickery. In any case, I think I can mark this thread as [SOLVED]

Yeah, I thought that E17 was experimental, it wasn't mentioned on the website (well, maybe I missed it), and you can find it only in the /daily branch in the mirrors. E17 has its merits, but if I want to use it, then I guess I can get Elive, or GoblinX (can't remember, now) or even MacPup. They are not so experimental anymore and quite stable.

You know, until you guys mentioned unetbootin I didn't even consider it. I didn't have it on my distro at that time and I completely forgot about it. Shame on me.

Hey, no worries about lilo conf. Yes, it should work, but adding entries in it is different than in grub. I hope I will succeed. At this point there is no auto-conf tools for chain-loading grub in lilo. Sad, though.
